[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maryland is so stupid for joining this. The only thing that is going to happen is that used cars will get more expensive.[/quote]

EV market is changing quickly. The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is priced at $25,500 and that price is based off the battery price of 2024. In 3 years EV will likely be 25-35% cheaper vs comparable gas powered cars with a range of 400 miles. EVs are really easy to build and nothing sell cars like price.

If you are a never electric think of every EV on the road as reducing the demand on gas and lowering price per gallon for you.[/quote]
Doesn’t matter if the charging network is not there and repair and insurance costs remain high (any damage to battery pack from minor accident can total the car).

[b]It is not clear to me why Democrats are so fixated on choosing technology instead of setting standards and letting the market find the most efficient technology.[/b]

This sort of market coercive policy will always be a failure under capitalism.[/quote]
That's not really working.  Americans love their gas guzzlers, Ford F150 and big SUVs.

Sometimes, the government does need to intervene rather than allow market forces to direct.  If we let market forces dictate everything, we'd still have dangerous working conditions, slaves picking cotton, and segregation in schools.  It was only due to government intervention that these things no longer exist. Or maybe some people do want to go back to these times. IDK... sometimes, it's hard to tell.[/quote]

The government has been intervening in the market to push cheaper gas for decades.  Gas-powered cars are not even remotely "free market in action."[/quote]
